The opportunity
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
What you'll do
Design metallic structures and propulsion fluid systems under accelerated timelines
Review specifications and other engineering data to develop mechanical systems
Update designs and drawings through engineering change orders to support: SpaceX's rapid pace of design iteration
Create detailed component and assembly drawings incorporating an understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups
Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
+ years of mechanical design and drafting experience (including internships or personal projects)
What they're looking for
